Patient's question:
A 6-and-a-half-month-old baby went for vaccinations because of phlegm in their throat. The doctor said the baby would be fine and then went to the hospital to register with the pediatrician. The doctor said the baby had inflammation in their organs and prescribed Lungenli Ke Heji and Clindamycin Palmitate Granules. This morning, the baby started dry retching, nausea, vomiting, and spitting up milk, followed by loose stools. Later, feeding them with rice porridge helped a lot, but now they have watery, egg-like diarrhea again.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None
Any assistance needed: Hello, what is wrong with the baby? Is it related to the medication they are taking?
Doctor's answer:
It might be infantile gastroenteritis, which is not closely related to taking medication. At this age, it's common to get rotavirus infection-induced autumnal nausea and vomiting. Autumnal nausea and vomiting are usually characterized by egg-like, soupy-like stools that last for 6-7 days, and they can easily affect the heart, leading to nausea, dry vomiting, and poor spirits. This condition is more prone to cause dehydration and acidosis, so it should be taken seriously.Advice: It is recommended to visit the hospital early for a stool and blood test. To prevent further dehydration, drink salted egg custard or rice porridge.
